I don't know how to do that. Do you know what is the last function in the iptables code or the first function in the NIC driver, that a packet that has been accepted by the firewall passes before it is sent on the wire? I would then write some code so that when a call is made to that function, a signal is raised and it will cause a shell script to execute. I don't know abt the DoSed command. Do you have any example? If there is an easier way, please let me know... MAny thx for the reply. Warm regards, Visham
